With the bypass the weapon can fire ever three seconds.
DESCRIPTION
The CZ-717 was made by Zaz Tal'verda during his time in The Dominion. Because of his inexperience and lack of skill with a sniper rifle he created a weapon that had more advanced functions to assist with the task. Taking the same technology utilized in his helmet, he created a sensor and targeting system that made sniping much easier. However, the man got rather carried away and created a weapon that was exceedingly heavy, causing it to be less practical in battlefield environment.
